Content needs to convert. Plain and simple. Otherwise you're wasting time, resources, and money. 

There's magic in the sports industry - it connects and unites us, it holds the stage that can inspire real change, it pulls people into community and out of circumstances. 

But right now everything is centered around money and we're losing sight of the human connection element. The piece that actually moves your ideal fan down your funnel and generates more, sustainable growth. 

In this episode, we cover: 

• Why story 
• Using your platform

• Why the industry should care 
• Why content matters

Organizations function on a trickle-down effect, with the top tier being the governing bodies. My belief is that it actually needs to start with the athletes and then go up the rest of the ladder. Increasing revenue and reducing employee turnover comes from an inversion - it starts with the athletes. 

Here's the thing. Sports is a business, the bottom line comes down to the revenue that you're generating. The landscape is missing a huge opportunity. Passion, purpose, and legacy start with the athletes and should be woven in to spread throughout your organization.  

In this episode, we cover: 

• The missing component
• The power of word-of-mouth marketing 
• My core belief 
• Story connects

Is this a mistake? Am I doing what I actually want to be doing? If you have asked yourself this or something similar, you are not alone. In this episode, we are talking about alignment, intuition, and what to do when something feels off. Full transparency - I came really close to hanging up the cleats on the sports business side of things and closing the doors on my business. If you're feeling like something's missing or if you're eager to find a job that combines your passion with your skillset, know that it's okay. You don't need permission to do so. Listen to what your intuition is telling you.
